Players to watch
Gonzalo leads Fulham's xG list on 3.97 but has scored once in 754 minutes. He is also the first-choice penalty taker, according to FPL. Harry King has two goals from 1.86 xG, and Bobb has one from 1.74.
For Newcastle, Wissa has 3.37 xG and one goal, and is the first-choice penalty taker. Barnes has two goals and three assists, while Willock has two goals.
Availability and head-to-head
Newcastle's Jacob Ramsey is due to serve a one-match ban, worked out by MFF from his sending-off for two bookings. FPL also lists Livramento (knee) and Jaouen (hamstring) as injured, with a 0% chance of playing. It has Fernandez-Pardo (illness) and Miley (muscular injury) as doubtful, each with a 75% chance of playing.
Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon was sent off for a straight red card. By MFF's reckoning, he misses this game only if the ban is the three-match one for serious foul play or violent conduct.
The recent head-to-head is level. In the last six meetings each side has won three and there have been no draws. Fulham won the latest, 2-0 at home on 24 May 2026. Newcastle won both games in 2025-26 by 2-1, in October and December 2025. Before that, Fulham won 2-1 away in February 2025 and 3-1 at home in September 2024, and Newcastle won 1-0 at Craven Cottage in April 2024.
